Evaluating Different Breathing Systems
Have you ever thought about actively working to improve your breathing as part of your daily routine? When deciding which system to follow, it’s important to consider how the system might fit your individual needs. Here’s a rundown on the different practices according to their strengths.
Healing Asthma: Breathing Pattern Disorders
Breathe. Is your inhalation and exhalation soft, slow, and even? Is it calm, almost imperceptible?
